Official approach for Lomas

Millwall have this afternoon been granted permission by St Johnstone to speak to Steve Lomas about the vacant managerial position at The Den.

Lomas has spent two seasons at McDiarmid Park, leading the Perth club to a top six finish during his first year in charge.
The good form continued and St Johnstone finished last season in third spot, securing Europa League qualification for the second consecutive campaign - the first time that had been achieved in the club's history.

Saints Chairman Steve Brown confirmed: "I have been contacted by Millwall FC and following discussions have given them consent to speak to Steve Lomas.

Steve is an ambitious and talented manager and I'm disappointed but not surprised that his progress has been monitored by other clubs.

As with our previous two managers, we will not stand in the way of Steve if he agrees to join Millwall."
